The Vodacom Blue Bulls lost 22-7 to the Toyota Free State Cheetahs in Bloemfontein on Saturday to end a disappointing Absa Currie Cup season,
The defeat means that the Blue Bulls finished fifth on the log and will miss the play-offs next weekend.

The match-up between the Toyota Free State Cheetahs and Vodacom Blue Bulls is expected to be tense as the teams fight for survival in the series. The hosts will enter the clash with confidence following their morale-boosting 52-21 victory against the GWK Griquas last week, while the Blue Bulls are expected to feel the pressure after coming off four back-to-back defeats. But given the fact that the Cheetahs have a five-point lead on the log, the Blue Bulls will be aware that it will take a big performance to sneak into the semifinal.

Rabs Mxwale, WP u21 winger, was anounced as their best u21 backline player of 2016.

I hope that Ivan van Zyl and Ppaier can come through next season. we really need a much better nr. 9 there. One of the reasons why we struggled this year was because our 9's did not consistently performed…
